Rough Trade have entered into a partnership with US based World's Fair Label Group which it will use to enable the North American release of certain albums, including Jarvis Cocker's debut solo offering 'Jarvis' and Brakes' 2006 album 'Beatific Visions' (Billboard seem to be calling them BrakesBrakesBrakes, which could be a name they're using in the US to avoid confusion with American band The Brakes - I should check really). The new arrangement should enable Rough Trade to boost its presence in the US market - problems reaching that market have been in part blamed for the indie's recent disappointing financial results. Billboard say World's Fair hope to have the first Rough Trade releases out in the US by April or May.
